It's rough. My osteoporosis specialist here said no one of her patients had had side effects like that, or any for that matter. First, I don't believe it..many women just tough it out and don't report. Second, just because a doctor doesn't see something in THEIR set of patients, they think that is how it is everywhere. But if a doctor isn't open minded enough to realize their little corner of the world is not the world entirely, or isn't willing to discuss alternatives with you, it's best to go elsewhere for care. I would report your side effects to the drug company that makes Evenity too...they need to know what people are experiencing.
